x2
[Verse]
C#m E
Thought cycle gusty a mind filled with hot air.
A E G#m
Must I care for nothing more than myself? Do I dare
C#m E
admit the fraught thoughts cavorting? Resorting in inner-directed mourning
A E G#m
for the part of me that was selfless but left without a warning.
C#m E
Well that’s what I said, but maybe it’s the fact that I detest
A E G#m
this obsession with myself that leaves a mess inside my head.
C#m E
Oh shit I’m doing it again, repelling any potential friend,
A E G#m
revealing my innate ability to never fully comprehend
C#m E
anything bigger than myself, but in the end I still pretend.
A E G#m
Condescending anyone polite enough to choose to misspend their time
C#m E
watching me as I achieve my secret social mission.
A E G#m
To drain people with my boring stories and opinions.
C#m E
To see the bigger picture takes intelligence and wisdom,
A E G#m
but I won’t see nothing more with just myself in my vision.

x2
C#m E A
I go outside a blitz of faces unwilling to confess to any empathy,
E G#m
endlessly incessantly declining any pleasantries.
C#m E A
Heavily breathing, socially teething. I’m open like a vivisection.
E G#m
Intense tendency to dwell, seething over missed connections.
C#m E
Infected by my perceptions that I’m a non-entity,
A E G#m
project my insecurity until intensity is weaponry.
C#m E
Grieving a heavenly fiction I perceived whilst I was dreaming.
A E G#m
Awake! Freezing, wheezing, fundamentally I’m still believing that,
C#m E
this is an elegy for concepts I conceived in deep sleep,
A E G#m
as I helplessly watch them fade whilst I awake, I try and keep them alive.
C#m E
Incomparable with life but eventually they die
A E G#m
and the brain I used to cultivate reveals my lovers were a lie. |
[Chorus]

x2
C#m E
When inside my mind I find a way to replicate reality.
A E G#m
Through lucid dreaming I decimate the limitations of actuality.
C#m E A
Capacity practically eternal, mortality external,
E G#m
no god but I investigate the blasphemous worship of the nocturnal.
C#m E A
Internally existing without morality creates profanities without the travesty
E G#m C#m
and compared to the apathy of realness I reveal my own insanity.
E A
The majesty of fantasy protects me from tragedy.
E G#m
Normality's effects reject the agony of rationality.
C#m E
Which thankfully penetrates with no avail to my unreality,
A E G#m
an elaborately designed privately owned spiral galaxy.
C#m E
Financially I’m failing, naturally decaying.
A E G#m
Soon I’ll have no safe place to sleep if these bills still need paying,
C#m E
displaying cravings with open eyes for something mind expanding
A E G#m
for when I drift away I see the totality of understanding.
